Ola is undergoing a major leadership shake-up. In addition to Gupta’s new role, Ankush Aggarwal, co-founder Bhavish Aggarwal’s brother, has been named CEO of Ola Financial Services. Ankush Aggarwal has also joined the senior leadership team at Ola Cabs. These changes come as Ola gears up for its IPO, having already selected the lead managers for the process.
Seven months ago, Karthik Gupta became a part of Ola Cabs, where he took charge of financial strategy, growth plans, regulatory compliance, tax management, treasury operations, and investor relations.
Before joining Ola, Gupta played a key role at Procter & Gamble as Vice President and Regional CFO for Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. During his nearly 20-year tenure, he gained extensive experience in financial leadership.
